saw the fullbody mallards, have a question

[Jay Longhauser]

I saw the new mallards the other day, they look good, motion bases did give lots of movement. How was the most effective way to transport them for anyone who has field tested them. I assume the slotted bags is the answer, but those bases seem difficult to haul and i worried about breaking them?

Check out my "Which decoy bag?" thread.

Jay,

That piece of wire should be virually unbreakable. The only time I plan on using the bases is when the ground is frozen. Most of the time I am going to be using the MotionStick.

Thanks,

Rick; I asked this question the other day in another post but did not get an answer. What’s the difference between a Univeral Motion Stake and a MotionStick? Can you describe the material and construction of the MotionStick? I have plenty of the Universal Motion Stakes and am quite familiar with their use.

Here is a picture of the RealMotion Bases and a MotionStick. The sticks are made of either graphite or a fiberglass material. The round bases are made entirely of steel except for the white plastic tips. The white tips will show up great when all the light you may have is the moon light.

I'm with Rick in that I will be using the RealMotion Bases mainly on frozen ground or on ice. Otherwise, I will mainly use the stake.

I am with Rick and Christian as well. I plan on using the Motion Stake. The main reason I will be using the stake is ease of transport. Both of the options work awesome and I think both will get plenty of use.

Christian and Curt, I know you guys hunt some pretty soft ricefields as well.
In some of these softer areas, especially with a stiff wind, that motion ''base'' will be the ticket as the bottom,(circle) of the motion base will give the stability needed to the decoy in some of these fields.
Of course this goes for the Goose fullbodies as well..

[Berk]

Do you get both of these options when you buy the decoys?

[JEDJR]

James, Yes, You get 6 motion sticks and 6 of the realmotion bases in every box.
